handmade artisan decor for
the conscious home
East Perry is a collection of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces that inspire beauty and evoke simplicity. Every item in the store is handpicked – literally – and each piece crafted with great intention. Un-dyed. Endowed with meaning. Entirely unique. You’ll never find 250 items in stock, as every East Perry piece is created with reverence. Our vision of beauty is raw and natural – as is the process by which we craft our products.
The sheep are free-range and raised in the mountains of Ossetia by small-scale organic farmers. We’ve established a relationship with the farmers and artisans alike. Our blankets take two weeks to knit by hand and are crafted by a mother and daughter who live next door. The process is human and deeply rooted in community – it’s as natural as the fiber itself.

(Janine and her silly son, Akeem)
Janine Saunders believes that each piece carries the energy with which it was made. She birthed East Perry in the spirit of mindfulness and conscientious consumption. Her story begins with her two-year-old son asking her why their taxi driver had sheep fur on his seat. Because in Ossetia, people eat a lot of sheep. It ends with East Perry, an opportunity to offer customers an alternative to the modern experience of mass production by taking advantage of a simple byproduct.

“A piece of happy” reflects the joy East Perry has brought to Janine, the energy that goes into the products, and the beauty each piece brings to any space.
